Replying to Help with a predicament

I need some help guys.

For the past couple of years I've always I've had my heart set on getting the Double Down pass for Mt. Snow/Stratton (and using it pretty much always at Snow) when I turn 18, and this is the year. Snow is about 2 hours from my house. Stuff has come up recently to show that Windham is going to have killer parks this year. WIndham is only about an hour from my house, making trips there super easy, and on top of that, they have the air bag, night skiing, etc, but I still don't think it will compare to Carinthia. I can get a season pass to either, and I can get Windham tickets super cheap because I have family members who work for the state. Is the extra hour of driving each way and gas money worth it to make it up to Vermont twice a week? I just don't know at this point. If you were in my situation, which would you pick? +k for any advice...

tl;dr: Is saving 4 hours worth of time and gas money worth it to downgrade from Mt. Snow to Windham?
